Abstract
A housing for an electronic circuit comprises tub-shaped lower and upper parts and a rectangular printed circuit board, PCB. The lower part comprises PCB supports and molded position fixing formations on opposite inner walls and first parts of latching apparatuses, for connecting to the upper part, on opposite outer walls. The formations positionally fix the PCB by engaging into matching fixing slots therein. The PCB has, in each corner, a slot parallel to the inner walls with the supporting elements forming elongate, resilient tabs, the length of the slots greater than the spacing of the respective slot from the adjacent PCB edge. The upper part comprises pins protruding out of the plane of the edge and pressing the resilient tabs out of the PCB plane into the lower part, with the housing assembled, and, on opposite outer walls, second parts of the latching apparatus for connecting to the lower part.
